It is my understanding that for a defamation lawsuit to have merit, some elements have to be present.
1. The defendant must have lied about the plaintiff.
2. The plaintiff must demonstrate financial loss and that their reputation has been injured.
In this example:
Trump tweet called Stormy's sketch a 'con job,' so she's suing him
Daniels is suing Trump for saying lies about her. She will have to prove he told falsehoods. I think she will have to prove that he knew he was telling falsehoods.
Daniels will have to demonstrate it has hurt her financially or that it has injured her reputation. The problem is that the opposite is the case, she has profited:
Trump tweet called Stormy's sketch a 'con job,' so she's suing him
As for her reputation, a porn actress is simply another form of prostitution - sex for money. I have to wonder how you could possibly injure a prostitute's reputation.
